The second edition of this textbook, which deals with tumors
of the musculoskeletal system, is a marked improvement over the
first edition. The first edition was a translation from an Italian
text, and it suffered as a result. The current edition was written directly
in English. The text represents the life’s work of one
of the world’s most prolific tumor surgeons, Mario Campanacci,
who included clinical material derived from more than 20,000 patients treated
at the Rizzoli Institute in Bologna. Professor Campanacci was uniquely
suited to write such a book. He was an outstanding physician and
tumor surgeon, but he was also well versed in orthopaedic pathology.
He was a student of the distinguished pathologist L. Lichtenstein,
and Campanacci’s expertise is reflected in this text. One
of the icons of orthopaedic oncology in the United States, William Enneking,
wrote the foreword to this treatise. He describes the text as an
invaluable resource, an inspiration, a prodigious effort, and authoritative.
